ARM moves to combat Intel's Atom
ARM plans to go head-to-head with Intel with a revised version of its A9 processor core that the UK company claims is much faster or more power-efficient than the Atom that is used in many netbooks.
Instead of using low-power process technologies, which the company has targeted for its cellphone-oriented processors, ARM has chosen to aim for higher-power technologies such as TSMC's 40nm general-purpose (40G) process with the Osprey, a dual-core version of the A9.
The normal problem with the general-purpose processes versus their low-power counterparts is that they leak far more current, although they can support more than double the clock rate. But, by designing circuits to power down when not in use and run operations faster, it is possible to counteract the effects of the higher leakage, which is what ARM has done with the Osprey.
"Using the Atom as a reference power profile, this offers five times the performance for the same power profile or five times less power for the same performance," claimed John Goodacre, director of programme management at ARM. "It's not the traditional place where ARM plays. This is a new space for us."
Goodacre said the comparison was made using the CoreMark benchmark published by EEMBC, which allows the benchmark code to run on both cores of the 2GHz Osprey, against the single-core Intel Atom N270 running at 1.6GHz.
One of the big differences between the Atom and the Osprey in terms of power saving, said Goodacre, lies in the way that the on-chip level-two can be powered down more frequently on the ARM design. Because the level-one cache will be used 80 per cent of the time, accesses to the level-two store will typically be in bursts, making a shift into a low-leakage 'retention' mode viable. In contrast, the Atom's cache will move into a power-saving mode when the processor is idle or sleeping.
Goodacre said chips based on the Osprey will probably come within a year to 18 months, following on from the first A9 processors based on process technologies such as TSMC's 40nm low-power version. Although 40nm is the initial target, he said the new crop of high-k, metal-gate sub-40nm processes coming from the Common Platform partners as well as from TSMC will help drive performance up.
"High-k does wonders for the leakge. It allows you to push the design harder," Goodacre claimed. "But 40G is only just coming to the mass market."

The world is getting more difficult and very busy in many ways. Numerous workplaces are now pressing their workers to greater development, while not thinking about the fact that they are people. Every night when an individual comes out of the workplace, most of the time the thing they will want most is to lie comfortably in bed. This is considering that they will be extremely exhausted both physically and psychologically due to the tension in the workplace. When they are falling asleep on the bed, it is necessary for an individual to get an excellent sleep. Our body will have to face some unknown troubles and that an individual will get impacted mostly if this is not the case.
Significance of bed mattress
From the above three crucial demands, it is quite tough to conclude about health considering that it depends on some factors. Also, the size of the room cannot be altered in some places considering that it is repaired as it is at the time of the building of a room. Also, some ventilation or air conditioning can be supplied. Even when the issue is not fixed, then the bed mattress should be charged along with the bed. It is extremely simple to alter the bed or bed mattress within a short period than consulting the issues with the above two cases.
Advantages of natural latex
When inquired about individuals concerning how they get better rest easily, the most typical thing that they say is just about the size of the bed mattress, not about the product being made use of in them. This is so given that when individuals see from outside, what they will see is the external part of the way, the bed mattress and the size they look, and they never consider about how they are made from inside. Making sure that a bed mattress is suitable for health both in regards to life and the quality sleep that they are offering, the most appropriate option is the natural latex bed mattress. When choosing purchase of among them, natural latex bed mattress reviews need to be gone through for sure.
Help in option.
Awareness of individuals relating to the latex mattress is less considering that fewer individuals can manage to afford them them. They are usually priced higher than other mattresses. These reviews are based on the direct words of customers who are sharing their personal viewpoint about the natural latex mattress to assist those individuals who are still searching for the very best mattress. Reviews are upgraded in a regular way making sure that they can fit with the present trend and corrections are made in the evaluation instantly so that they are constantly offering objective details about mattresses.

MLK Black Tie Banquet slated for Friday
The West Point Alumni Chapter of the West Point Alumni Inc., is hosting its 21st annual Martin Luther King Jr. Black Tie Banquet, at 6:30 p.m., Friday, Jan. 12, at the U.F.C.W. Local # 1529 Union Hall.
The keynote speaker for the event is Dr. Yolanda Davidson. The theme is "Moving Toward Our Destination."
She was a graduate of West Point High School, and continued her education at Jackson State University in Jackson, Duquesne University in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, University of Tennessee Health Center, and College of Pharmacy in Memphis, Tennessee. She received her Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry in 1988, Masters degree in Chemistry in 1995, PhD. in Chemistry in 2000, and Doctorate of Pharmacy in 2007. She has been a licensed pharmacist since 2007.
She is the daughter of John D. Davidson and the late Vallie Washington Davidson.
"We are so excited to have Dr. Yolanda Davidson with us to speak Friday night," said Bettye Swift, president of the West Point Alumni Chapter in Mississippi. "We love brining successful hometown people to inspire us. It shows the importance of education to enable everyone to reach your dreams."
Swift said money donated during the banquet goes directly to scholarships for graduating high school seniors, to help with college expenses.
"We have chapters not only here in West Point," Swift said. "But there are chapters in Chicago, Illinois, St. Louis, Missouri, and San Diego, California. We send out the scholarship forms in April, to all of our chapters. We awarded $6.000, in scholarship awards last year. Scholarships are awarded in all four cities where our chapters are located."
Swift said there will be a table set up to allow those who are not registered to vote, to register and be able to have a voice in upcoming elections.
"The event is semi-formal, to formal dress," Swift said. "It is always fun to get all dressed up and attend an event such as this one. But we want to invite everyone who would like to come and be part of our celebration of the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr."
Tickets are $20 per person, and Swift said other donations toward the scholarship fund are always appreciated.
Tickets can be purchased at the door or in advance from Swift or any member of the West Point Alumni Chapter.

Landscaping and Design Contractors
Custom Designs For Driveways, Landscaping, Pools & More
Out of four landscaping contractors bidding on my design, and after qualifying and evaluating the bids, I awarded my driveway and entrance porch renovation, backyard full regarding, irrigation, deck, patio and landscape works to Hardscape Interlock Design. They were the best in pricing, execution time and commitment to the given design. Tony and his crew were up to the challenge. He supervised the job daily and ensured resources were available ahead of time. There were no mistakes or delays. Work was carried out continuously with no interruption and completed in three weeks. Peter and Junior took the lead over a crew of 8 people. They were professional, prompt, polite and very efficient. We enjoyed great communication as they respected my comments and went out of their way to make us happy. The end result was stunning. I would strongly recommend them to others.Ramy Youakim, Oakville, ON March 2017
Wow! We love looking at and admiring our new driveway! Peter's crew did an outstanding job! The were respectful to our neighbours, fast, and cleaned up well each day before going home. Our new cobblestone pavers have added so much character and charm to our home- it's hard to believe a driveway can add so much! It's not just a driveway...it's a decorator item (along with patio and pathways) that enhances every improvement we have completed on our home. Your help with selection, the care of your team, and the technique of your 'artists-at-work' has been greatly appreciated.Gloria H. Oakville, ON. May 2011
We could not have chosen a better company to turn our backyard into a beautiful patio. Eddie, the sales manager educated us on everything we needed to know before making a decision. Peter's crew workmanship was outstanding. Their crew was very dependable and also open to how we wanted it to look. Their product is top notch. We would recommend this company to everyone. Gentlemen it was a job very well done. We enjoy it very much. It exceeded our expectations.Bob Schlegel Vaughan, ON July 2011
The service received from Hardscapes Interlock Design was great. Peter and his crew were respectful and were open to minor changes we had during the project. The crew cleaned the work site very well when they completed the job. Our neighbours were all happy with their attitudes and how well they cleaned up each day. More importantly, we are very happy with our new driveway, walkways and patio. It is fun to have the elegant entries to our home.Maghen Peterson Richmond Hill, ON April 2012

Another woman in The Bahamas killed in her home and the headline in The Tribune names it a "domestic dispute murder", which is like saying "reduced calorie lethal poison" or "harmless rape." Here is the patriarchal language at work in the common consciousness, the constant relegation of women's experience to some other, lesser status. What is a "domestic" murder? Is this not as brutal a murder as any other kind? Not as real as murders which are not "domestic?" The misnomer is loaded with negative implication, in my opinion. What is "domestic dispute?" Is this really the truthful way to refer to the violence and brutality women and children endure in their homes? If a man were in the street beating someone into the ground wouldn't be be arrested and charged with assault? If that person died would the papers call it a dispute? No, they would call it a brutal killing, a vicious, senseless murder. Language is powerful, words are powerful, and in the hands of the local press it is also oppressive and dangerous and full of lies. The local press "domesticates" violence against women and children with the language of woman-hatred, The local press is dangerously inept, which is just what patriarchy needs it to be in order to carry on getting away with murder.
Having said that, I read the entire article and found that the murdered woman IS NOT MENTIONED ANYWHERE IN THE WHOLE FREAKING STORY! There is an account of the other mudered person for that night, a man who was killed in the street. But the woman who died at home, nothing. NOTHING!
The Bahamian Press is a public disgrace. It is the enemy of all conscious women and the people who love them. It is the enemy of justice and equality for women at risk and their children. It fails miserably to live up to its mandate of providing us with free-flowing and true information, the kind that empowers us. The Bahamian Press is not a real press at all. Local newspapers are not about journalism, they are not about giving us information or providing us with free and diverse voices. They are about hos and pimps, pretending to serve us while they give handjobs to their big money advertisers under the table.

She catches her slave eyeing her feet, so she allows him to worship her feet. After begging like a pathetic whore, he licks and sucks the exquisite feet of Goddess Valora. Goddess Nadia White is caught flirting with her new professor by the pathetic subby she's been using. After he cries like a little bitch, begging to do anything to stay together, Goddess Nadia comes up with a plan while Goddess Valora's slave worships Goddess Nadia's ass. The slave licks her tight ass and shows how a good slave should act. Goddess Valora tells Goddess Nadia's subby the new rules of his relationship and forces him to wear a chindo. He uses his new appendage to fuck Goddess Nadia's wet pussy with Goddess Valora's slave. The pathetic slaves suck using the fake cocks, and are forced to suck them while the Goddess's laugh at them. Since he said he would do anything to stay with her, Goddess Nadia forces her pathetic subby to suck the black cock of Professor Johnson. Goddess Nadia needs to maintain her grades, so her subby better get used to pleasing Professor Johnson's cock. He must be doing a good job, as he gets rewarded with Professor Johnson's cum. Watching how obedient her new subby is, Goddess Nadia wants to get fucked by Professor Johnson while her subby sucks on her toes. After Professor Johnson finishes in Goddess Nadia's pussy, she makes her subby clean her up. Desperately wanting to use his tiny cock, her subby begs to fuck, and gets rewarded with permission to fuck Goddess Valora's slave's man pussy.

Some people who are not familiar with the computer language will ask what is a blog? Well, a blog (shortened from "Weblog") is a personal Web page that the creator regularly updates. It's similar to a diary or journal except bloggers choose to post their feelings, thoughts and observation for the world to see rather than to scribble them on page. Blogs are usually updated daily or weekly and most offer readers an opportunity to post a comment. No editor, publisher or other third party filters the information. Freedom of speech prevails, but the quality of writing and subject matter are decidedly mixed bag.
Blogs promotes projects, share experiences, voice opinions and chronicle journeys; most contain photos or other graphics and links to other Web sites. A woman who's battling cancer or wants to weight loss may create blog so she can update friends about her health without fielding phone calls all day long. A stay home mom may blog to share her day to day thoughts on raising kids. The possibilities are endless and to date there are more than 70 million blogs on the internet.
To get sense of what blogs are about, visit blog search at google.com, type in any topic and take a tour of the scores of blogs to turn up. Some of the most popular are also listed at technorati.com/pop/blogs.
To start your own blog, go to google.com and search for "free blog". You'll get a list of dozens of free blog sites. Better yet, go to lhj.com/startablog. Any blog site should walk you step by step through the process of creating one. Don't be discourage if you have a few visitors at first; it takes time to establish an audience. Post on other blogs to introduce yourself and invite visitors to yours.

Subjectivity has often been defined as a judgment which is based on individual and personal impressions rather than external facts. Despite the fact that it is terminologically difficult if not impossible to make a clear cut distinction between what we call subjective and objective one is bound to characterize such matters like scientific evidence, statistics and modes of measurement as being apriorically purged of any emotional, impressionistic influence. Hence, in the situation in which an apple falls down from a tree one is objective if (s)he shall take into consideration the speed with which it fell down, the size of the apple, color and maybe the effects of the impact. Contrariwise, if one says the apple fell beautifully such annotations are considered subjective. It was mainly phenomenology…read more.

Bodies Politic: Immigration Bill 27 Votes Short of Cloture
The New York Times, ROBERT PEAR and CARL HULSE
Immigration Bill Suffers Setback in Senate Vote
"Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, the Democratic majority leader, scheduled another, make-or-break cloture vote for this evening. If that vote also falls short, Mr. Reid is expected to shelve the bill, meaning that changes in immigration law might not be considered again for many months."

Well, Daenerys did it again: The Unburnt Mother of Dragons roasted the great khals who had gathered to determine her fate with the Dosh Khaleen. So yes, Daenerys now has the Dothraki worshipping her — but will she be able to set sail for Westeros, after all these seasons? Will she finally reunite her dragons and take what's hers in fire and blood? Will she ever have her hair burned off as it does in the books? I, for one, would welcome Game of Thrones' take on Furiosa.
Of course, let's not forget all the drama in Westeros. Ramsay practically declared war (#ComeAndSee?), and now that Jon and Sansa have reunited (I'm not crying, you're crying!), how soon will we see the epic battle between the Boltons and the Starks? And in King's Landing, all seven hells are about to break loose as well — setting the stage for a certain Targaryen queen to come roaring in and upending everything.
So with all that in mind, the latest episode of EW's Game of Theories tackles the biggest — or rather, burning (sorry) – questions to come out of Game of Thrones' fourth episode of the sixth season. Watch our take above, and make sure to let me know what theories you have in mind on Twitter, at @shirklesxp. Just don't tell me what to do with my dagger. Like Daario, I'm very attached to it.
For our other burning questions from this season, watch earlier episodes of Game of Theories here.

Plant Order Reduction for Controller Design
Özgüler, A.B.
Gündeş, A.N.
Date Issued2003
Journal Title
Proceedings of the American Control Conference
Conference Paper
Please cite this item using this persistent URLhttp://hdl.handle.net/11693/27520
Two dual methods of plant order reduction for controller design are proposed for linear, time-invariant, multi-input multi-output systems. The model reduction methods are tailored towards closed-loop stability and performance and they yield estimates for the stability robustness and performance of the final design. They can be considered as formalizations of two classical heuristic model reduction techniques: One method neglects a plant-pole sufficiently far to the left of dominant poles and the other cancels a sufficiently small stable plant-zero with a pole at the origin.

WASHINGTON -- An emotionally split Supreme Court ruled yesterday that it is unconstitutional for government to do special favors for a specific religious group, as the justices struck down a public school district that was set up to serve only a community of Hasidic Jews.
The decision indicated that five justices want to reconsider and perhaps overturn two prior rulings that had curbed public aid to religious schools.
Yesterday's case involved Hasidic Jews in Monroe, N.Y., who sought a public school of their own to teach their disabled children. The five justices said that the past rulings had led to the creation of the Kiryas Joel Village School District in Orange County, 40 miles northwest of New York City.

Your vehicle is also a great deal more durable than theirs, and thus don't fear wrecking your ride. Much like an earlier mission, you'll want a getaway car. Even when you've ridden on a bike before, you may be surprised by the somewhat inadequate cornering on this thing.
Hop in as everybody's realizing that you're not, actually, Brandon. Regardless of what the thought or question, I'll do my very best to reply. It's really quite straightforward. It's quite tough to recover. It isn't that much awful though.
You must shoot all of them. Otherwise you're more inclined to crash. You don't have to be exact, just opt for the gaping black. You can't outrun them, and therefore do everything you can to make them crash.
Your hacker can help you out through this or hinder you, based on her or his quality. An additional way to combat piracy is to just make a very good high quality game with greater longevity. Punishing the pirates can be achieved through numerous methods but the conventional manner of fining the odd pirate simply does not get the job done.

If you follow me on social media (I sure hope you do) you probably saw my partner and Jasmine and I (Moms As Entrepreneurs) share images and Periscopes of the Baby Bash and Bling event in DC hosted by Monica Byrd. The event was amazing and we had an awesome time. From the interactive workshops to the "Bump the Runway" fashion show the event was a super success.
I met Monica Byrd earlier this year and was truly amazed by her work. Monica is very well known for putting on AMAZING events around the United States. Monica has accomplished so much and is a very successful entrepreneur.
What I realize in business is that many entrepreneurs do not understand the value of a live event for their brand. When I first launch my business having a live event was a priority. I knew that people needed to see me live and not behind words or pictures. In order for them to fully buy into by brand they needed to connect with me on a personal level. Yes I have video footage they can see and connect with but it's nothing like connecting face to face. Putting on my first live event added so much value to my brand it was scary.
Those that attended said they loved the energy in the room and not only were they able to connect with me or learn from me, but they were able to connect with others in the room. This is huge because connecting with you is great but when they realize that others in the room can help them or they can help others you just increased everyone's' bottom line. A lot of what you do in business is not what someone can do for you but what can you do for them. Putting people in a room where they are pretty much forced to network is a win-win for EVERYONE.
Three MAJOR ways that hosting a LIVE event add value to your brand are:
- Increasing your bottom line buy having the ability to sell products or service at the event or after the event;
At your live events you should have your "MILLION DOLLAR" product or service to sell. The goal of the event is for people to want more than then what you provided at the live event. They need to be able to effectively go home and use the information you went over or need other products you have.
- Helping you build relationships with other key partners to help you put on the event (sponsors, media experts etc). These partners can increase your visibility and bottom line;
Remember helping others help you. When those guests see the increase in their business they will always remember how it happens and be reminded of YOUR event! That reminder will turn into word of mouth marketing and just like magic you have a bunch of walking FREE billboards.
- Helping you become "known" as the expert in your industry.
Whatever industry you are in there is a way for you to leverage your expertise to help others by hosting an event. Once you are able to effectively teach others in your industry you will be known as the "EXPERT."
If you are currently in business and you haven't given any thought about having a live event you should do so NOW. It can HELP and SAVE your business!
Thank me Later!
The Business Dr.

According to Twitter's blog, over 60% of the registered Twitter accounts are now outside of the United States. A recent Nielsen study reports that Japan's Twitter reach now surpasses the US, reaching 16% of the active internet audience vs. 10% in the US. (Nielsen, April 2010). There are many challenges facing companies that are trying to take advantage of these multilingual markets, including the language factor. Many of the available Twitter tools offer support in multiple languages. Jeffrey L. Cohen reviews 4 in a recent blog post, and Saikat Basu blogs about another 5.
Jeffrey mentions Tweetdeck, which is my Twitter tool of choice. Tweetdeck's translate function is very user friendly. You simply click on the tweet, then the translate button, and you have the translation from one language into English, or from English into another language. I use it on a regular basis to see what our team in Japan is tweeting about. Here's an example below:
Voilà! The English translation
That's where reality comes in though. You can see the translated tweet above. I can read it and get the gist, but I'm still not really sure what they are saying. I have found that the shorter tweets are often better quality. I'm sure that quality varies from one language to another.
It's one thing to monitor your brand on Twitter globally and try to get the "gist" of what people are tweeting. It's a whole different challenge to respond back to the tweet in the native language or even put out an original tweet into another language using the translate feature. Without a native speaker approving your tweet, how can you be sure it makes any sense? I tried it a couple of months ago in Polish and asked the Twitter community who spoke Polish for some feedback. They came back to me and told me it was really bad, but then very graciously translated it correctly for me. Do I want to embarrass myself again taking a chance on what I'm saying to our global customers? My answer is definitely not — at least not without some disclaimer that it's machine translation.
So while it's great that all of these tools are integrating machine translation into their capabilities, you can't discount the fact that it's not the same quality as human translation. Instead of engaging with the global community, you may end up alienating them and embarrassing yourself and your company. Lionbridge's new Real-Time Translation Service: GeoFluent is able to provide an affordable, customizable solution to help you address this issue. Stay tuned….

In addition to the launch of Kimpton Karma, the brand has launched a re-designed website (KimptonHotels.com) to make it easier to explore and book any Kimpton boutique hotel across the country, and blog to better reflect the company's guest-centric philosophies and positioning as a lifestyle brand.
Kathleen Reidenbach, senior vice president of marketing at Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants said on Kimpton's Karma Rewards: "We're in the midst of an exciting evolution at Kimpton, and all of these new updates are fueling us to pull away from the pack in increasingly competitive boutique hotel and restaurant category. We're becoming a 365-degree lifestyle brand that appeals to design-conscious, tech-savvy clientele that's also looking for more depth when they travel".
Based on engagement and stay history, members of Kimpton Karma Rewards Programme can move up in tiers with each tier level providing associated personalised experiences. In addition, with every stay, members enjoy perks such as free WiFi, a "Raid the Bar" voucher (a £10 credit toward a great experience at the Kimpton restaurant bar or a treat from the mini bar), in-room spa service discounts, a complimentary treat from Kimpton chefs, customised welcome amenities, room upgrades based on availability, occasional fun surprises. By investing in an innovative and custom-built Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system behind the scenes, Kimpton has further empowered employees to capture preferences, background and details about guests in real-time, so they can continue to create memorable and personalised experiences no matter what Kimpton hotel a member is visiting.
The new KimptonHotels.com is a reflection of Kimpton's sharpened brand image and improved guest-centric shopping experience online. The new site aims to be a digital living room for the brand, which mimics what a guest feels when checking into a Kimpton hotel. To create more efficiency and ease of use, the site provides timely and relevant information about specific properties, live information feeds on details such as weather, time of day and more. Designed with Kimpton's food-loving guests in mind, dedicated restaurant pages have been introduced so that each venue will have its own page with information about the food, concept and chef. The site is responsive and optimised for any device and screen size, making it easy to view and book on-the-go.
The new blog, which re-launched in June, is a perfect partner to the new website, and provides readers with a more engaging and accessible way to explore topics that Kimpton believes makes life enjoyable. Life Is Suite treats readers to a beautiful new design and a variety of inspiring stories from more than a dozen regularly contributing writers with original features, Kimpton news and videos. Contributors include freelance journalists from national outlets (such as AdWeek, Los Angeles Times, WHERE Magazine, etc.), Kimpton's master bartender Jacques Bezuidenhout, Master Sommelier & Senior Director of National Beverage Programs, Emily Wines, Creative Director & Senior Vice President of Design Ave Bradley, and more.

Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews that showcases newly acquired books or goodies we bought, received or borrowed during the week.
Last week of January, I received a wonderful email from Fullybooked. Got these review copies (one is for giveaway so watch out for it and one if for review). I've finished reading it last night and my review will be up on the 15th. I absolutely enjoyed it. Also, Fullybooked gave me their 2015 planner! After I picked up these goodies, I walked around a bit (which is what I usually do when am in Fort) then decided to chill out in Starbucks. I used to be a Starbucks coffee addict but not anymore. Anyway, I tried their new Raspberry Truffle Frappe and it was delicious! (Forgive the photo, I obviously took this shot against the light!)
That day was just so laid back. I miss days like those a lot.

Thank you so much Fullybooked! This means the universe to me! Thank youuuuuuu!

On December 30th we'll see the wonderfully exciting Akira Yaegashi (24-5, 12) [八重樫 東] defending his IBF Light Flyweight title against Thai visitor Samartlek Kokietgym (33-5, 11)* [สามารถเล็ก ปูนอินทรียิม]. Today, ahead of their bout, the two men under-went their physical examinations.
At the physical both men had their measurements taken and the tale of the tape is that Yaegashi is the naturally bigger man, in fact the measurements suggest he is a genuine Light Flyweight whilst Samartlek is much more of a Minimumweight moving up in weight.
Not only is Yaegashi the bigger man but he is also the man with the more quality experience, with this being his 12th world title bout. Strangely though Samartlek is the more experienced of the two fighters with 18 rounds more than the champion, it should be noted though that that experience is at a very low level, with only a handful of bouts against notable names.
Yaegashi and Samartlek set to face off in potential FOTY contender?
*Samartlek's record is reported as both 33-5 and 31-5

The U.S. Army is seeking research into the availability of countermeasures that can treat symptoms of multidrug-resistant bacteria, a General Services Administration website posting said Monday.
The notice said information being gathered in this area is for planning purposes. The posting said it is not a call for proposals.
The Biological Defense Therapeutics Medical Counter Measure Systems Joint Project Management Office is focusing resources to the development of platform technologies and countermeasures against biological threats that are resistant to most forms of antibacterials. The Countermeasures for Multi-Drug Resistance - Bacterial program aims to develop therapeutic solutions to alleviate biological warfare agents for which the uses of current countermeasures are ineffective.
The program is considering multiple options, including the combination of current Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved treatments.
Interested parties should have medical countermeasures that follow the following criteria partially or in full: countermeasures that are either FDA approved or in development, that are meant to treat illnesses caused by bacterial pathogens and have attained Quantitative Technology Readiness Level 6 or higher. Countermeasures that are being developed to treat conditions such as tularemia, anthrax, brucellosis, glanders, plague and melioidosis are of high interest.
Responses should address the potential that the countermeasures could be used in the treatment of drug-resistant bacteria. Responses should not exceed 10 single-sided pages. Submissions must be sent via email to Jeremy Michaels, email@example.com.

How to work with files and folders in Windows
What happened to My Computer and the libraries?
File Explorer (previously called Windows Explorer) helps you work with files and folders on your PC and network. Now with widows 8.1 the area you were very familar with "My Computer" is now called "This PC". Why because Microsoft can that's why. personally I think this is just plain stupid and they should have left well enough alone. Microsoft even adding in search rules so that when you search for "My Computer" it will redirect you to "This PC".
Even though Microsoft named "My Computer" to "This PC" windwos explorer still acts and functions the same as it did in Windows 8. You can still use the Documents, Music, Pictures, and Videos folders to save your files. You just browse to these folders differently in File Explorer. To browse the locations on your PC, including the folders that used to appear under "Libraries," expand "This PC" in the left pane.
Learn about the different parts of the File Explorer window
Here's a typical window with its parts:
|1. Left pane
|Use the left pane to get to all kinds of locations: your OneDrive, folders on your PC, devices and drives connected to your PC, and other PCs on your network. Tap or click a location to view its contents in the file list, or tap or click an arrow to expand a location in the left pane.
|2. Back, Forward, and Up buttons
|Use the Back button to go back to the last location or search results you were viewing, and the Forward button to return to the next location or search results. Use the Up button to open the location where the folder you're viewing is saved.
|3. Ribbon
|Use the ribbon for common tasks, such as copying and moving, creating new folders, emailing and zipping items, and changing the view. The tabs change to show extra tasks that apply to the selected item. For example, if you select This PC in the left pane, the ribbon shows different tabs than it would if you select your Pictures folder. If you don't see the ribbon, tap or click the Expand the Ribbon button in the upper right or press Ctrl+F1.
|4. Address bar
|Use the address bar to enter or select a location. Tap or click a part of the path to go to that level, or tap or click at the end of the path to select the path for copying.
|5. File list
|This is where the contents of the current folder are displayed. It's also where your search results appear when you enter a search term in the search box.
|6. Column headings
|In Details view, you can use the column headings to change how the files in the file list are organized. For example, you can tap or click the Date modified heading to sort by date (with the files you worked on most recently at the top). If you tap or click the column heading again, the files are sorted with the oldest ones at the top. Press and hold or right-click a column heading to select other columns to add. To learn how to switch to Details view, see the next section, "Change the view."
|7. Search box
|Enter a word or phrase in the search box to look for an item in the current folder. The search begins as soon as you begin typing—so if you enter "B," for example, all the files with names starting with the letter B will appear in the file list.
|8. Status bar
|Use the status bar to quickly see the total number of items in a location, or the number of selected items and their total size.
|9. Details/Preview pane
Use the details pane to see the most common properties associated with the selected file. File properties provide more detailed info about a file, such as the author, the date you last changed the file, and any descriptive tags you might have added to the file. If you don't see the details pane, tap or click the View tab, and then tap or click Details pane.
Use the preview pane to see the contents of a file, such as an Office document, without opening it in an app. If you don't see the preview pane, tap or click the View tab, and then tap or click Preview pane.

JCDecaux has today announced a partnership with Bitposter to support automated trading of its media.
JCDecaux currently delivers over half the digital impressions in the UK OOH market, with an ambition to double its digital audience to one billion viewed impressions per week by the end of 2017.
Bitposter is a leading OOH automated trading platform, and the partnership will provide buyers with an additional front-end interface through which JCDecaux is able to deliver automation at scale.
Philip Thomas, Co-Chief Executive Officer at JCDecaux, said: "Through this partnership we will combine the expertise of two market leaders. Using JCDecaux's SmartBRICS data management platform (DMP) and the front-end buyer interface of Bitposter this partnership will give buyers an additional channel to JCDecaux's inventory via an automated process, as media moves away from frame-based buying to audience-based trading."
Aidan Neill, CEO of Bitposter, said: "We're really excited by the opportunity offered through our partnership with JCDecaux and believe that by working together we can be successful in driving this next evolution within the OOH media industry."
This partnership follows a campaign for the FT which ran on the JCDecaux Airport channel. The campaign – bought through Bitposter – used JCDecaux's data management platform (DMP) SmartBRICS and JCDecaux's content management system (CMS) platform SmartContent to deliver targeted creative to audiences as they flew between the US and UK.

Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys have devoted much of their artistic lives to a war on rock nostalgia, but when you're showing a first-time visitor around
The attraction on this early Friday evening was a man in a tank top, who stood on the small stage murdering
Just across the road is another bar with a claim to musical history, a dismal spot called Eric's, where McCluskey and Humphreys performed for the first time, in 1978, as Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark. The headliner was an unknown group from nearby
Though Liverpool of that era had many bands that became legends — Echo and the Bunnymen, the Teardrop Explodes — there wasn't another one remotely like O.M.D. Inspired by the German group Kraftwerk, they played electronic music. They were oddballs, freaks.
Thirty-five years later, O.M.D. still doesn't quite fit in. The genre they helped invent — file under "synth pop" — proved hugely popular through the 1980s but tended to be dismissed unfairly as a hollow,
Growing up in a suburban village on the Wirral Peninsula, McCluskey and Humphreys, who are both 53, bonded over their shared revulsion of the '70s-era macho guitar rock their friends adored. They conducted sound experiments in Humphreys's mother's small house, using homemade instruments like the "tuba phone," a five-foot-long cardboard cylinder with a microphone on one end. McCluskey owned a bass but barely knew how to play it. He was right-handed, but it was a left-handed model, because that one had been cheaper, so he played it upside down. Humphreys had electronic devices that he took apart and reassembled into things that made noise. Eventually he saved up enough to buy a synthesizer from a catalog his mother received in the mail.
Everything they did was improvised, unplanned, jerry-built, including the band's name, which was taken from a list of song ideas and lyrics McCluskey had scrawled on his bedroom wall. "If we had known we were going to be stuck with this stupid name for 35 years," he said, "we'd probably have given it more thought."
Little is remembered about the first O.M.D. gig other than that turnout was low, maybe 30 people, and McCluskey was amazed to discover that Joy Division's singer, Ian Curtis, had an awkward dancing style similar to his own. From that inauspicious start, however, O.M.D. was emboldened to send a demo to Tony Wilson, the impresario of Manchester's Factory Records, of a song called
Wilson, they heard, did not personally like the song, but his wife loved it, and so he agreed to put it out as a single. O.M.D. became instantly hot. After a gig in
If it sounds like a young, unknown band ought to be wary of rushing into a seven-album deal, well, that would turn out to be right.
Two years later, McCluskey and Humphreys had churned out three of those seven albums. They had set up a studio in Liverpool down the block from Eric's and added a drummer and another keyboardist to the lineup. Their third album, "Architecture & Morality," scored three Top 5 singles in
McCluskey and Humphreys, however, were broke and still living at home. McCluskey slept in the tiny 6-by-6-foot bedroom he grew up in. His gold albums hung on his mother's living-room wall.
Then a record executive came to talk to them about their next album. "He sat us down and said, 'All you've got to do is "Architecture & Morality No. 2," and you're going to be the next Genesis,' " Humphreys said. "It was completely the wrong thing to say to us."
They spent more than a year agonizing over an experimental opus they called "Dazzle Ships," doing everything they could to make it sound nothing at all like "Architecture & Morality." The first single, "Genetic Engineering," starts with a clattering typewriter and a toy piano and uses synthesized voices recorded from a Speak & Spell. The rest of the record follows abstrusely from there.
Like most declarations of artistic freedom, it was commercial suicide. Sales plummeted to 300,000. "We lost 90 percent of our audience," Humphreys said.
But that would be the pivot. With defiance out of their system, O.M.D. forced a renegotiation of their record deal and set their sights on breaking America. Their big shot came when the filmmaker
It was called "If You Leave." Hughes loved it, and so did American radio. It went to No. 4 on the U.S. charts and established O.M.D. as stars. But along with the album that preceded it, 1985's
All these years later, the "If You Leave" aftermath feels a little radioactive for McCluskey and Humphreys. This was when making music to satisfy their own youthful curiosities finally and irrevocably gave way to making music for whoever signed the checks. Not coincidentally, their partnership crumbled, and even now they are reluctant to get into the details. "There really were musical differences," said Humphreys, opening up a sensitive area that McCluskey quickly tried to close. It was "other people," he said, "sticking their oar in and pulling us apart."
Humphreys left the group, while McCluskey soldiered on with the O.M.D. name, making a forgettable series of albums for an increasingly indifferent pop audience. When he despaired of that, he formed Liverpool's answer to the Spice Girls, a group called Atomic Kitten, and co-wrote a song called "Whole Again," which went to No. 1 in Britain. But the business got messy again, and he ended up cut out of the deal. "I thought that after 18 years, I knew the music industry," he said. "I had no idea at all."
In 2005, a German television show called out of the blue to book O.M.D., and McCluskey and Humphreys, who had barely seen each other for more than a decade, started performing together again. But it was the dissolution of McCluskey's marriage that inspired him and Humphreys to collaborate almost as they had when they were teenagers, playing with weird noises and mining the Kraftwerk catalog for inspiration.
"We just did what we felt like doing," Humphreys said.
"It was my escape from the misery of the disappointment of the collapse of my marriage," McCluskey added. "What am I going to do, sit in my house on my own all day long? I had to do something creative."
The album "English Electric" has received good reviews, and McCluskey seems to have found a way to unembarrassingly recapture his youth on stage. Playing at the
Not everybody, though, is welcoming them back. Though electronic music owns the charts now, synth pop still carries a stigma. When their first single,
An article on May 12 about the band Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark misstated the title of the band's latest album. It is "English Electric," not "English Electro."

I am speechless with quite unjustifiable self-admiration. My tiny, frail laptop with an Internet connection no more secure than a line of wet string, has managed to download a fully functional CD bootable version of Linux, which is rather like learning about computing from scratch all over again. It's amazing how one's thinking becomes a resonant image of Windows and you behave as that nice Mr Gates has taught you, it's only when you get out into the fresh air of open source that you realise what you've been missing. There are some quirky litle glitches but at least with a modicum of UNIX nous, most problems are transparent and not difficult to solve. It's faster, cleverer and more intuitive than I could have imagined, and, best of all it is, like advice, free of charge

Primera versión del TABORERO LAB en vivo. Galería Quinto Piso, Centro Histórico, CDMX_ Marzo 1-2018. Como parte del PERCUSIVISIONES en su primera edición. Presentando música del legendario percusionista suizo Pierre Favre.
en residencia, cdmx
In Duo with former student, now advanced profesional, Miguel Soto. San Cristóbal de las Casas, Chiapas. 2013.
We learn more, deeper and faster, through doing a creative practice and collectively cooperate in the process of creative socio-spiritual events like music making. Collaborating in something which may be new, as in the making-realization of a program like TAMBORERO LAB, take us into a different learning path. TAMBORERO LAB started with the idea of exposing to some of my students to a deeper, reacher and more demanding approach to understanding the practice of contemporary drumming. There is involved an attitude of commitment and exigence for being able to overcome natural individual limits, self indulgence and self discipline, weak musical practice habits, lack of drumming concept understanding, clarity of intuitive thinking, improvisation abilities, understanding of forms and acceptance of differences in perspectives and imagination in a collabortive situation, etc. And at the same time, as a proposition to a quite rigorous ensemble practice for the discovering of new ways of approaching drumming within a history clear perspective. TAMBORERO LAB opens a wide door for the creative musical mind as well as to a profound comprehension of percussive forms and cultural diversity and bordering. This means that every student is free to explore and approach in his/her own way the practice and application of a world wide human cultural universal language heritage, that has been passed it on to us as a musical path for evolution.
TAMBORERO LAB is a drum-percussion ensemble workshop started in 2004. This drum set-percussion ensemble is inspired by the great percussion ensembles M´Boom by Max Roach, Singing Drums of Pierre Favre, the work ensemble of Milford Graves / Andrew Cyrille/Famoudou Don Moye/Kenny Clark; and many african percussion artists like those of Doudou N´Diaje Rose, Boubakar Diagne, Famoudou Konate, among many others. There is also a profound influence by XX Century Chamber Percussion Music in my approach to composing and arranging for this workshop; the music of Edgar Varese, John Cage, Iannis Xenakis, Lou Harrison, to name just a few, remain in my musical thinking and conducting of the workshop materials at all times.
TAMBORERO LAB began in 2004 after 6-7 years of private teaching; as a pedagogic and didactic workshop environment to explore into the so diverse territories on which drum set-percussion music and the instrument itself evolved during the last century history. The repertoire on which the workshop develops is a combination of music vocabularies and percussion techniques, languages and drumming attitudes, that range from jazz, free improvisation, ethnic music, progressive drumming, orchestral percussion and free form playing, in a very unique chamber music context. The ensemble workshop ideally started as a quartet format, presenting concerts from 2005 to 2008; then, after a brief breacking off of two years, the workshop has been working mostly in a duo format, offering workshops and presenting concerts from 2012 to 2016.
TAMBORERO LAB program is based in musical arrangements and compositions that integrates the rhythmics of the World. The sheet music is well prepared to fit into the specific needs of every student, offering a wide open field for the development and refinement of musicality, language and form understanding, technical fluency, phrasing and breathing, music theory, drum sheet music reading, improvisation in style, and more.
TAMBORERO LAB is intended for the serious student of drumming. But it is also an open workshop for amateur practitioners as well as a demanding LAB for the more professional ones.
Some room for experimentation with live poetry, soundscapes, video art...
TAMBORERO LAB is now working in residency in CDMX. Offering open permanent session classes every Saturday morning. Planing a series of intensive workshops and concerts during 2017-2018.

Perrotine began, like so many ideas, with "where can I find…" and coming up empty. In this country, from what I could tell, I could find stiff, run of the mill white lampshades, or, at the other end entirely, overly elaborate, fussy lampshades that would not be out of place on a Victorian stage set. Gathered lampshades of the sort found in London were nowhere to be found, and I needed some for my house.
I had for years been cultivating a love affair with vintage fabrics generally and block-printed textiles specifically. I obsessed over the V&A's collection of simple Indian calicos and elaborate, fanciful palampores, many of which can also be found in historic house museums here in New England.
The textile love seeped into my little print shop, and I spent a good chunk of time trying to mimic the look of fabric on letterpress printed paper. It worked beautifully from a design perspective, but I had fallen out of love with printing.
Thus began the silk sari hoarding, learning to use a pale minty green vintage sewing machine, sourcing a perfect rosy linen (thank you, David Hicks) to line the frames, and making silk bias trim by hand to finish the top and bottom. A collection started to form, and so did a clear picture of where this is all going: every six to eight weeks or so, a new collection, centered on a color.
The perrotine was a machine invented by Perrot of Rouen in the early 19th century to automate the process of block printing.
Pairing Lamps + Shades
Lampshade measurements are listed as
a x b x c
for which
a = top diameter
b= bottom diameter
c = side length
The top opening of a lampshade dictates the maximum wattage (incandescent) that can be safely used.
The table below should be used in place of the recommendation of the lamp manufacturer, i.e. if your lamp is listed for a 100W bulb but you purchase a small shade to pair with it, the bulb should not exceed 75W.
4 x 7 x 6
6 x 12 x 8.5
8 x 16 x 10
10 x 20 x 14
Perrotine in Five Steps
Find a fabulous vintage silk sari
Bind the top and bottom rings of the frame with cotton tape
Cut a long length of fabric, then gather, pin, and hand-stitch to the tape
Fit and hand-stitch a rosy, neutral linen to line the frame
Trim with hand-made silk shantung bias tape
Your order will be packed and ready for shipment 2 to 3 business days from the date you place your order.
free standard shipping
Orders ship free via USPS Priority Mail, which typically means delivery 2 days after your order has been picked up.
expedited shipping
If you would like your order expedited please send an email and we'll see what arrangements can be made.
international orders
This site is ready to accept orders shipping within the US but these lampshades can travel! Please send an email if you'd like to place an order.
All sales are final unless an item is damaged or has been misrepresented in some way.
Please be sure to measure your lamp to ensure a good fit. In many cases small fabric swatches are available and can be sent free of charge. Keep in mind that as the lampshades are one (or two) of a kind, there is no guarantee the shade you have in mind will still be available once a decision is made.
If you would like clarification about color or sizing or would like to see more photos of a particular lampshade please send an email.
Sales Tax
6.25% sales tax is added to orders shipping within Massachusetts
Perrotine's lampshades are hand-sewn from vintage sari silks.
As a result, some irregularities in the fabric are to be expected, and you will likely (hopefully) note that the lampshade is almost entirely made by hand. Every effort is made to be sure that fabric is free of blemishes; if more significant damage has been overlooked, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

D.I. Library kicks off series of consumer fraud prevention workshops with "Outsmarting Scammers"
With an April 15 filing deadline with the IRS fast approaching, tax season is most certainly upon us. As we examine our epenses and double-check our checkbooks, law enforcement officers and financial advisors are warning we must also keep close tabs on something else – shams, scams and flimflams.
The Daniel Island Library kicked off a new three-part lecture series on consumer fraud prevention on March 7 titled "Outsmarting Scammers." The 30 presentation was led by North Charleston Police Department detective-turned-financial advisor Jim Rowan, who focused his talk on informing meeting attendees on how to spot red flags consistent with current fraud practices.Rowan's credentials in speaking about the topic of financial fraud in America are unquestioned. While serving on the North Charleston Police force, Rowan worked in the white collar crime division, investigating all types of financial fraud at the local, state, and federal level. Prior to leaving the department and joining Edward Jones a little over a year ago, Rowan was named North Charleston Police Officer of the Year by the Charleston Exchange Club. On top of that, Rowan is a veteran of the U.S. Air Force.
"I have been on the other side of this topic today," began Rowan in his presentation at the library. "I've had occasions to investigate and charge people with committing a lot of the types of frauds that we're going to talk about. If you look at fraud, and if you look at the theft that occurs because of fraud, you realize how monumental this problem is in our society and how catastrophic it can be for people in terms of their financial position."
Rowan hammered home that point with a few statistics, backed by his own experience. Nine million Americans have their identity stolen every year, he stated, and that number is growing. On top of that, fraud and financial abuse schemes targeting the elderly generate almost $2.9 billion annually. That was a particularly sobering fact for Rowan, who stated that his own mother has been a victim of financial fraud at least four times in the last two years alone. Rowan outlined four of the most widely utilized schemes currently being employed by contemporary fraudsters – collection fraud, the "grandparent scam," the "sweetheart scam," and the "sweepstakes scam."
Collection fraud insinuates a situation in which a victim is contacted by person of authority, who suggests they owe money or has outstanding debt that if not taken care of immediately will lead to a bigger problem for the victim. Typical calls are from fraudsters masking as representatives from the IRS, or one of your local utility providers. They often demand money be wired somewhere that day to prevent further issue.
"As I'm standing here talking out loud about these frauds they sound obvious, but in the moment that this fraudster has called you on the telephone, presented you with this problem, gotten your nerves up and got you upset telling you the police are coming to arrest you because you are delinquent, someone who doesn't understand fraud, someone who's never had anyone explain to them what is normal and what isn't normal in this kind of situation might make the wrong choice," said Rowan.
A second red flag would be if the person in any way threatens you with consequences should you not pay.
"Even if it's just a mild threat where they say 'well, you have to pay us today or the police are going to come arrest you' or 'you have to pay us in the next two hours or we're going to shut your service off,' that's a threat to alter something for you, the comfort of your lifestyle or the service you receive," said Rowan. "Legitimate businesses don't do that. Not ever. Anytime anyone hears that, that should be a red flag."
The "grandparents' scam" involves an elderly family member supposedly getting a phone call from one of his or her young relatives indicating they're in trouble, they need money, and they don't want to tell their parents."They're putting people in the position where they have to make a choice and that the dire consequences for them are all real…if this person doesn't choose to send money to help them with their problem. There's always a time sensitivity to it where they have to act on something right now," Rowan continued. "You could see how it's very easy for an elderly person with a very large extended family to fall for something like this."
To educate the room about the "sweetheart scam," Rowan delved into personal experience, telling the hard-luck story of a former co-worker who'd been befriended online by a fraudster posing as an international businessman with exceedingly bad luck. The fraudster had developed a relationship with the victim and over a period of almost a year had convinced her to send dozens of payments amounting to tens of thousands of dollars by Western Union to him to help him deal with various bad breaks and financial hardships.
"It was such a big scam and it had gone on so long and built on itself so extensively that the fraudsters had actually sent our victim photographs and said 'this is me,' and my victims swore the she actually met this individual in person," said Rowan. "We explained to her the premise behind this kind of fraud and what happened and how people are made to be victims of this."
"It's heartbreaking, but when you showed her the facts and the reality of what actually took place, she was dumbfounded and said 'no he wouldn't do that to me.' These fraudsters are so convincing and so good at what they do they convince the victim that they're real and they're genuine."
Finally, Rowan outlined the "lottery/sweepstakes scam" in which you receive a letter telling you that you won some lottery, but that to collect you need to pay an administrative fee up front.
"Stop right there and think to yourself 'did I enter one or did I buy a lottery ticket?' Because the number one rule of the lottery is you have to play to win," said Rowan. "If it sounds too good to be true, it is."
If you think you could be a victim of fraud go to the Federal Trade Commission's dedicated identity theft website at identytheft.gov, or of course contact your local law enforcement, said Rowan, who stated further that Edward Jones here on Daniel Island has a dedicated fraud team who would investigate on your behalf as well.
"If you come to us with anything that looks remotely like a red flag to you, we're going to automatically contact our fraud team and filter it through them," said Rowan.

I came across this awesome blog on branding by the Blake Project which offers truckloads of fabulous advice and insights on the art and science of branding. This is probably one of the best blogs on marketing which I have seen. What's great is that they do offer lots of free stuff too.
How does one measure brand equity? There are many ways to do it. Interbrand–Businessweek's methodology is probably the most famous for listed companies, and many marketers are familiar with their Top 100 Global Brands.
I personally like the approach which Blake Project has adopted. According to them, there are five key attributes which drive customers' brand insistence, namely:

Sun Peaks used to be called Tod Mountain. The ski area's owners, who purchased it in 1992, have invested over $375 million and they are set to invest another $70 million. Their goal is to position Sun Peaks as a four-season destination resort. You will find 122 runs on an average snowfall of around 220 inches. They have 12 lifts (chair and surface). The area has plenty of open bowl skiing. Off the slopes at Sun Peaks, seven on-mountain hotels with many condominiums and chalets providing 3,000 beds. Additional lodging is in Kamloops, 45 minutes from the area.
The addition of 522 acres of new terrain, in time for the 2014/15 season, will take the ski area to 4,200 acres, second only in size, in Canada, to Whistler. The current domain of 3,678 acres will be augmented by 110 acres of trails on West Morrisey (between the Back in Time and Static Cling trails) and 412 acres of runs on the current back-country area of Gil's, atop Mt. Tod. At this point Gil's will remain hike in (from 5 Mile trail accessed via the Burfield chairlift) /ski out, with an outrun at the bottom increasing the current vertical.

Visitor Reviews of Sun Peaks
Magus from Canada writes:
Great interior BC ski resort!
Three main points to remember:
1) No lineups
2) Dry interior powder
3) Mostly ski-in, ski-out
Not near a major population centre so the crowds are not a factor. Friendly locals! Total snow is on the light side but enough to keep it fresh.

Got the flaps rigged and the electric motor connected…time for some fun! Click on the video below to see.
Got the flaps rigged and the electric motor connected…time for some fun! Click on the video below to see.
The last major task I had to take care of with the wings installed was rigging the flaps. To do that, I temporarily installed the flap motor and flap actuator arm.
I installed the flaps, and found that the left flap rubbed against the fuselage side skin. The areas outlined in blue are where I had to file off some of the flap skin to eliminate the interference.
The most tricky part was figuring out exactly how much to enlarge the fuselage side skin openings to accommodate the movement of the flap actuator arms as they move the flaps up and down. Here's my first guess with some rough measurements roughed out from a friend's RV-7.
I also laid out holes on the belly skins and started trimming…
This was a very iterative process…move the flaps, check for interference, and trim the holes as appropriate. It took several hours to get the holes for both actuator arms to move freely.
I used my handy Harbor Freight battery booster to run the flap motor…
As I was checking the holes for interference, I was also checking for the proper range of flap motion. Vans says the flaps should go down no more than 45 degrees, so used my digital level to measure the flap angle both at full up and full down – subtracting full up from full down shows slightly less than 45 degrees on both sides – perfect!
And here's the end result on the right flap…looks great!
Food can be effective bribe. Last weekend I bribed Ellen and Whitney, and RV-7 friends Andy Olech and Allison Bailey, with lunch at the Midfield Cafe to help install the wings for the first time. Thanks Andy and Allison, we appreciate you flying up from Hartford and spending the day with us!
And as always, thanks to my family – Ellen and Whits, I couldn't do any of this without you !
This is one of those times in the project when a lot of past effort to maintain tight tolerances really pays off. Every RV slow-builder stresses about making sure the front and rear spar bulkhead halves in the fuselage are spaced 1.438″ apart as required by the plans. With the help of a little Boelube, the spar ends slid right into the fuselage. Cool.
With Andy, Allison, Ellen and Whitney adjusting wing position, I inserted a couple of taper pins into bolt holes for each wing. Van's calls for four pins, so before I made any final measurements and drilled any holes, I borrowed some long, custom-made stainless steel taper pins to augment the four pins I made from hardware-store bolts.
Thanks to Rich Mileika for making those really nice stainless steel taper pins, to John Sannizzaro and Bill Higgins for flying up to Nashua yesterday and helping me get the last 3-4 taper pins in so that the wings are secure, and last but certainly not least, thanks to Bob Weldon and his daughter Emma for muscle power and precision plumb bob stabilization <g>.
With the wings temporarily installed, I made sure the fuselage was level laterally and longitudinally. The plans call for measuring longitudinal level on the longerons at the cockpit, but these almost always have some residual twist from the bending process that makes it hard to get a good level measurement.
So, I just moved the levels back a few feet to a straight portion of the longerons. I had to adjust the cradle a little to get everything spot on, no big deal.
According to the Van's FAQ on wing incidence and sweep, the next measurement is from reference points on each wingtip to a common point on the aft fuselage. My measurements were the same to within 1/32″…cool again.
I then dropped plumb bobs from the wing leading edges – one inboard and one outboard on each wing panel, and laid out a reference line between the outboard plumb bobs to serve as a reference for double-checking sweep. Measuring the distance from the inboard plumb bobs to the reference line, I found that each wing had only 7/32″ of sweep, well within the 1/2″ tolerance that Van's suggests.
The next measurements check wing angle of incidence. This requires making a simple tool – a carpenter's level or metal channel with a 3″ spacer on one end. The flat end is placed on the wing skin above the main spar web, and the spacer sits on the skin above the aft spar web. When a level placed on the tool reads zero, the wing has a 1 degree angle of incidence.
The pic above shows the left wing incidence is right on the money. The right wing was the same.
Just for a goof, I checked the angle of incidence at each wingtip…every measurement was within 0.1 degree. This is a real tribute to the quality of Van's prepunched kits; with reasonable effort, it's possible to build a nice, straight airplane.
I also test-fitted the flaps to make sure the inboard flap skins fit nicely against the fuselage…
…and it looks like they do.
The last and most critical measurements are edge distance on the rear spar for the hole that accommodates a single attach bolt. I laid out lines on the fuselage and wing spar attachments that represent minimum edge distance from the hole center. As long as there's distance between the vertical line on the wing spar fitting and the vertical line on the fuselage fitting, there's sufficient edge distance for a 5/16″ bolt hole.
The right wing looks good…
…and so does the left wing.
I'm not in a rush to drill these holes. They're one of the few gotta-do-it-right-the-first-time things on the project, and I plan to sneak up on them one step at a time.
More to follow…
In another fit of marathon airplane building over the last three days, I finished the right flap. Did it just like the left one, so I'm not gonna waste your bandwidth with more pictures.
One not-quite-cool note, this flap came out with 1/16″ twist. I'm not quite sure how that happened, because I rechecked the jig before starting. But there it is and from some research I found out it's not uncommon, so I'm not gonna stress over it.
With that, I'm declaring the flaps complete…for now.
Did some marathon airplane building over the last three days, and Ellen and I managed to complete the left flap. First, I pulled the bottom skin off and riveted the ribs to it, bucking bar access is a lot better without the upper skin in place!
Next, I reassembled the flap without the spar. Ellen and I riveted the upper skin-to-rib and bottom skin overlap rivets. Access was tight, but the tungsten bucking bar made riveting relatively easy.
Ellen did the shooting, I bucked…
The next day I reinstalled the spar and pop-riveted the rib leading edge tabs. Nothing too tricky here, just need to gently push aside the flap leading egde to get the pop riveter in place. I used my cheapo riveter which I ground down to fit in tight spaces, worked fine.
After that, I solo-shot the upper skin-to-spar rivets and squeezed the rib-to-skin rivets – came out great!
Before squeezing the spar/skin/hinge rivets, I removed one eye from the center of each hinge. This is where the flap hinge pins will be inserted; I liked this idea better than drilling a hole in the inboard aileron bracket to facilitate inserting the hinge pin.
Squeezing the spar/skin/hinge rivets was easy, just had to make sure the squeezer set was narrow enough to make the shop head without hitting the hinge eye.
The only remaining task was to squeeze the rivets that secure the flap brace angles. Easy-peasy…
Don't know why I didn't get a shot of the completed left flap…but it looks just like the right one – so keep reading. One more thing… this flap came out with zero twist. Very cool!
Just as soon as the parts had dried, I riveted the flap actuator reinforcement plates to their respective inboard ribs – making sure to get the nutplate in there too. One note here – make sure you squeeze the aft nutplate rivet before you put the reinforcement plate on, otherwise that rivet will be difficult to get with a normal squeezer yoke. The sharp-eyed builders among you will also notice that I used AN470 rivets here; Vans calls out flush rivets but I didn't want to countersink the rib – it's not really thick enough. I had the 470-3s, so I used 'em.
The next day I riveted the rear tabs on each flap rib to their respective skins, and clecoed the flaps together for final assembly. I'm not going to cover assembly of each flap, they pretty much go together the same way. Big thanks to Dave Rogers for letting me use his flap assembly V-jigs. I screwed 'em to my worktable and leveled them to each other – no problems.
One gotcha…after spending all that time in Antony's paint booth, I realized that I forgot to prime the faying surfaces (i.e., skin overlap areas) on the flap bottoms. Since this is an area where moisture can get forced in between skins, I did some quick masking/alodining/priming of those areas and fixed the problem.
Got a lot of work done on the flaps this weekend. Friday was a day off for me, so I spent the afternoon prepping and alodining small flap and aileron parts – ribs, stiffeners, brackets and spacers.
It was too cold to spray and scrub the larger flap and aileron parts outside, so early the next morning I hauled those parts over to the Hanscom Aero Club hangar and did all the cleaning, scrubbing and alumi prepping there – nobody minds a wet floor as long as you clean up after yourself. With that done, I packed up everything including primer, spray gun and miscellaneous supplies and headed up to Maine where my friend Antony Parchment, RV-7 builder and all-around great guy, allowed me to use his paint booth to get all those parts primed.
Antony's paint booth is wicked great – it's collapsible and folds against one wall when he's not using it. I helped him assemble it and got right to work priming. Here's the booth…sorry for the crappy pictures, I did 'em with my cell phone.
And here's the flap/aileron priming in progress.
Meanwhile, Antony worked on fitting steps to his RV-7 fuselage.
After a hard day's work, we hunkered down on some great Japanese food in Portland with Antony's wife and a neighborhood friend. I packed everything up and motored back to Boston. A hard 15-hour RV workday, but worth it. Mission accomplished!
Still nothing to report, except the reason now is that I just got back from a two-week work trip to Huntsville, Alabama.
Nothing to report, I've been on a work trip to Seattle.
I've been deburring and dimpling flap components as time allowed over the holidays. Finished 'em today.
